The SQL standard specifies that unquoted identifiers are case-insensitive.
You're welcome to spell them as camelCase in your source code if you
feel like it, but don't expect that PG, or any other SQL-compliant
database, will pay attention.

yet I find disturbing that Postgres doesn't make the effort
to respect the case specified by the user. If I created a field
called "REF" why should Postgres call it "ref" in the output of queries
if the standard doesn't specify any obligation to convert the name ?
I'd like to have the possibility to enable this feature in future releases.

As for portability: it may not be a concern when you have at disposal
the best DB around :)
